crochet has become a bit of an obsession – join me in the madness!

What is this?

I have these exact colours of yarn and I want to make some coasters/placemats and this pattern is so lovely but what is it? Is this crochet? knitting? embroidery? I can’t figure it out and can’t find anything online. If you know what this is or know of a crochet stitch that gives a similar result please let me know!

It’s looks like a placemat made with a hexagon lap weaving loom. You can buy the looms in different shapes – square, triangle, rectangle. Some are wood, some plastic. You can make your own with some wood and nails. Here’s a couple of websites:

definitely on the right track – I’m going to move some of the nails to make the height and width of the flowers even and give it another go. Sorry about the quality of the photo – my camera broke the other day so this is from my phone.
